Why is rice wine easy to get drunk

First of all, you need to know that most liquors are blended with edible alcohol, and only a few high-end liquors, such as Moutai and Wuliangye, are brewed according to traditional techniques. Therefore, most of the liquor we usually drink is purer than the rice wine brewed by traditional methods, because the purchased liquor only contains ethanol and a small amount of flavor-changing substances, while the traditional rice wine or liquor brewed by traditional methods has an uncontrollable brewing process, and the metabolites produced by yeast are not only ethanol, but also some other alcohols, and these fusel alcohols are the culprits that make you drunk quickly and have hangover headaches.

How to choose rice wine

Verify the product's qualification certificate, trademark registration certificate, health license and liquor production license to avoid becoming a distribution channel for counterfeiters and endangering the interests of consumers. Among rice wines, Xiaogan rice wine is relatively famous and is loved by people from all over the country.

Why is rice wine so strong?

1. Because rice wine has a low alcohol content, it tastes too light. Just like a beverage, you will drink a lot without realizing it, which will expand your stomach and increase the amount of alcohol you absorb. In contrast, you will only drink a little bit of white wine.

2. During the brewing process of rice wine and yellow wine, brewing yeast will produce a large amount of higher alcohols (commonly known as "heady" substances). These substances are much more than those in white wine. Usually a small amount of higher alcohols makes the taste mellow, but a large amount of higher alcohols can make people easily drunk.
